A
dedicated Oakland advocate, Ellen founded and helped organize
SOBO ( South of Broadway, Oakland) Merchants Association. SOBO's
inaugural event is the 17th
Street Fair, September 30, 2006.
Ellen's
favorite marketing technique, well loved by her customers, is
to throw an in-store party. Often, these are lunchtime buffets
that allow customers who work downtown to shop without skipping
lunch. Some are after hours with champagne and hors d'oeuvres.

Revival into an opportunity for conversation and new personal
